Chapter 555 - 553: Several Pounds Heavy Diamond_1
The gathering included the old master, Mrs. Xia, Xia Jiehao, several brothers and sisters-in-law, Lu Fan, Taozi, Lin Sisi, and others... Essentially, as long as they were familiar faces, they all came.
"How come all of you are here?" Xia Ningxing asked in surprise and delight, her face beaming with smiles as she looked at everyone.
Laughing, they all chorused, "We heard you were back, how could we not come to see you!"
"Xiaxia, you’ve been gone for several months, we’ve missed you so much!" Taozi and a few other girls whined playfully.
"I’ve missed you too, come on, I’ve brought some specialities from the island, let’s all have some," Xia Ningxing said, taking out things from her bag and inviting everyone to join in.
The island’s specialty was oranges, and although they were small in size, they were sweet down to the core.
"Mom, have an orange," Xia Ningxing said as she peeled one for Mrs. Xia.
"I don’t want oranges, I just want you!" Mrs. Xia said tearfully, gazing at her daughter she hadn’t seen for so many days, and couldn’t help but wrap her arms around her, "Bao’er, I’ve missed you so much!"
She spoke emotionally and with a choke in her voice about her longing.
Xia Ningxing felt a pang in her heart and gently patted her mother’s back, "Mom, I’ve missed you too."
"Tell me, have you been doing well on the island these past months?" Mrs. Xia asked with concern.
